Genetic manipulation, which until now only took place with food, is now possible in humans. Additionally, there are electronic devices that can improve intellectual capacities and put an intense ethical debate on the table.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSo one idea I've been researching a fair bit is what I call 'a whole brain emulation.' That you scan a human brain and create a software replica. This has a lot of advantages. You can get backup copies, you don't have to age, you can transmit yourself over the internet, you could download yourself into suitable bodies\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cI think enhancing bodies is something we already do as part of medicine. The border between the therapy, prevention and enhancement is already very blurred.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe possibility of gene editing means that in the future, it may be possible to change people's moral dispositions. For example, removing psychopathy at the stage of the embryo.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n'They talk about human improvement in biophysical terms. Meanwhile the human being is better or can be improved in a much more integral dimension. This is physical, yes, but also moral, spiritual and social.'<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cI think the main ethical challenge is helping older people who, in a culture like ours in the United States, often feel undervalued or like a burden, helping them find meaning and peace in their final years of life.\u201d<\/p>\n
